How well do you know me? 20 questions for friends

A simple set of everyday questions to ask friends — the kind that start a conversation rather than a debate. Decide your own answer first, then ask a friend to guess. For a preference question there is no wrong answer; the fun is in comparing notes.

How to use these

Pick a question, choose the answer that is true for you, and ask a friend what they think you'd pick. Keep it light — these are about the small, ordinary things, not private secrets.
